Spanning over three decades, this is the complete discography of ALONSO and Glueleg. Each album represents a distinct period of creative work: studio recordings and sonic experiments, crafted with care. These are not just collections of songs, but soundtracks to evolving chapters of life and thought. From analogue warmth to digital nuance, each release carries the texture of its time.
A Colossus with Clay Feet
Glueleg, 2023 — Final EP
The last transmission. A Colossus with Clay Feet is Glueleg’s final release. An avant-garde coda to Horror Vacui that dives deeper into the fractures beneath grand facades. Angular, textural, and thematically dense, the EP dissolves the band’s familiar structures in favour of atmospheric risk.
Horror Vacui
Glueleg, 2023 — Double Album
The return. Thirty years on, Horror Vacui erupts as Glueleg’s most expansive and sonically fearless work—a double album of instrumental art-rock that abandons nostalgia in favour of reinvention. Layered, cinematic, and at times feral, it channels the full weight of absence into a kinetic, shape-shifting assault.
Compendium of Spots
ALONSO, 2021 — Album
A long-form ambient journey, Compendium of Spots drifts through memory and geography. Sonic postcards from a decade of travel to curated places in the world. Each piece unfolds slowly, like light shifting across a surface, evoking ruins, gardens, terminals, and hidden corners where time bends.
XLIX
ALONSO, 2021 — Album
A turning year, a deep dive. XLIX captures ALONSO at 49. Musically ambitious, expansive, and rooted in lived energy. Reflective yet forward-moving, the album weaves layered composition, and dynamic tonal shifts into a crafted emotional statement.
Ş
ALONSO, 2018 — Album
Composed over 2017-18 in Bodrum, Turkey, and recorded at Real World Studios, Ş is a darkly angular and romantic collection of songs shaped by solitude and intention. Each track unfolds with a quiet precision. Unhurried, and emotionally charged.
ALONSO
2016 — Debut Album
The first solo offering. ALONSO is an intimate record of hope and quiet vulnerability. Songs shaped by romance, loss, and the ache of becoming. Stripped down and sincere, it leans into melody and lyrical honesty, favouring closeness over complexity.
Clodhopper
Glueleg, 1997 — Album
Clodhopper marked Glueleg’s final release before their hiatus, encapsulating the band’s distinctive fusion of alternative rock with unconventional instrumentation. Produced by Sylvia Massy.
Heroic Doses
Glueleg, 1994 — Album
Glueleg’s breakout statement. Heroic Doses introduced the Toronto band’s signature fusion of alternative rock with brass-driven art-funk, anchored by Carlos Alonso’s Chapman Stick and a fearless embrace of genre collision.
Park Alien
Glueleg, 1993 — EP
Park Alien is Glueleg’s debut EP. A raw, inventive collision of industrial art-rock, angular funk, and downtown Toronto grit.
Angst
Glueleg, 1992 — Debut Album
Before the horns, before the Stick, there was Angst. Recorded as a high-energy three-piece by high school friends, this raw recording captured the grundge-inspired origins of Glueleg.
